1. use a live cd with the right tools (gentoo, knoppix) 2. move to reiserfs to minimise it happening again (I got sick of losing data to ext3) - YMMV
Also, on systems with a large harddisk (or better, add a small harddisk especially for this to minimise exposure) I keep a second, small recovery partition with a minimal gentoo system, tools and critical services for occasions like this.
